Celebrity Baby Names

    Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa
    Former "Cosby Show" queen Lisa Bonet takes top honors for now with their newborn babe. Bonet says that the child "was born on the stormiest, rainy night, so Nakoa (warrior), Mana (strength/spirit), Kaua (rain) and po (dark). Multiple middle names? Could become a trend for 2009?

    Princess Tiaamii
    British "glamour model" Jordan (aka Katie Price) and "former pop star" Peter Andre named their daughter Princess because it was "unique." When the name was announced in 2007, The BBC reported that Jordan had wanted to call her Tinkerbell, but there were too many famous dogs with that name. Because that's really the only reason not to go with Tinkerbell.

    Jermajesty Jackson
    Amazingly, this is not a child of Michael. Jermajesty is the son of Jermaine Jackson Alejandra Oiaza. And they say Mike is the crazy one.

    Barron Trump
    The only thing that would make this name better is if it were Barron Von Trump. But alas, the middle name of the spawn of Donald and third wife Melania is William. Still, with dad's money and mom's bone structure, the kid is basically American royalty even if his name is Pubert.

    Tu Morrow
    Rob Morrow may have been trying to revive his career when he named his daughter Tu in 2001. (Tu Morrow. As in "see you") It may have worked. Though Morrow's first TV series, "Northern Exposure", was canceled in 1995, he currently appears on "Numb3rs." Maybe Shelley Long should have a baby and name her Tu. (Tu Long? Get it? Oh never mind)

    Moxie CrimeFighter
    Penn Jillette and wife Emily clearly decided that they want their little girl to grow up to be a magician just like daddy. That way she can make this awful name disappear.

    Harley Quinn
    Kevin Smith named his daughter after the Joker's sidekick in Batman comics. If he and wife Jennifer have a boy they can name him The Riddler, Clayface, Scarecrow the possibilities are endless.

    b>Kal-El Coppola Cage
    Speaking of children named after superheroes, Nicholas Cage (née Coppola) and wife Alice Kim went with Kal-El, which every geek knows is Superman's real name. Little-known fact: it's also an ancient Hebrew phrase that, loosely translated, means, "My parents are rich and I will never have to hold a real job."

    Audio Science Clayton
    Son of actress Shannyn Sossamon and Dallas Clayton. You didn't realize Audio was a boys' name? For shame.

    Brooklyn Joseph Beckham
    The oldest of the three Beckham children continued a trend in the Posh Spice household wacky first name, regular middle name. Cruz David (pronounced "Cruth", since they live in Spain) and Romeo James round out this crew that could make a rap album without changing their monikers.

Yes, indeed, actress Lisa Bonet, of Cosby Show and Angel Heart fame, welcomed a son into the world December 15th with a name that tops the chart of oddball baby names.

According to a fan site for Jason Momoa, Nakoa-Wolf's daddy, the bizarre name translates into a person you certainly wouldn't want to meet on a dark and rainy night: Nakoa (warrior) Mana(strength/spirit) Kaua(rain) po(dark).

Take that, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, who named their son Bronx Mowgli, or Nicholas Cage, whose son Kal-El shares his name with Superman. By these standards, Shiloh, Suri and Apple are downright normal.

Little Nakoa-Wolf is the third child of Bonet, 41, who now goes by Lilakoi Moon. He joins big sisters Lola Iolani (Momoa of Stargate Atlantis is also her daddy) and Zoe (with ex Lenny Kravitz). Zoe, by the way, is 20 years old if you can believe it -- that's a generation in between her and the newbie!

Both mom and tot are said to be doing fine. I heard Stargate Atlantis was ending so maybe daddy Jason will be able to spend extra time with Nakoa-Wolf. Bonet, 41, is currently starring in Life on Mars with Harvey Keitel.

Congratulations, guys!
